Default Re: Dell 715N vs Snap4400 Guardian OS

Havn't time to work on much of anything yet.
Income tax got in the way.
Along with a few other breakdowns.

I now have slide rails on all of the equipment so I can gain access eaiser now. So now I don't have to handle the heavy equipment, easier on my back.

I'm still not convinced it will not run the Guardian OS. I may install just a boot loader and see what happens.

I now know what nic card it has. After I get it up on FreeNAS I will setup a USB pin drive for the boot device. That way you can have 4 drives for the raid5. Should be a good unit.
